Aborigines Advancement League

The Aborigines Advancement League is the oldest Aboriginal rights organisation in Australia still in operation. It was founded in 1957 as the Victorian Aborigines Advancement League (VAAL). Its precursor organisations were the Australian Aborigines League and Save the Aborigines Committee, and it was also formerly known as Aborigines Advancement League (Victoria), and for some time in the early 2020s as Aboriginal Advancement League.
